Double Double Toil and Trouble
It's a pop quiz.Putin and Ahmadinejad defend themselves against American critiques. Putin wants to encourage larger families. Blair is self destructing. Which of these news stories properly belongs within the fabric of Comparative Politics and which ones belong in International Relations? Why? (And why is that an unfair question?)
''Their house is their fortress -- good for them,'' Putin said, speaking of the USA. ''But that means that we also must make our house strong and reliable.''
"Those with insight can already hear the sounds of the shattering and fall of the ideology and thoughts of the liberal democratic systems," Mr. Ahmadinejad wrote.
''We must at least stimulate the birth of a second child,'' said Putin, bemoaning the declining Russian population.
And [in] a national poll published Tuesday in The Times of London...[m]ore than half said the "biggest problem is now Tony Blair himself."
